  北方人多半是热情大方的。同学聚会的时候人人都嚷着"我请客",抢着付账。那么,这个"请客"用英语该怎么说呢?耐心看下去,就会发现答案了。


1. It's on me.
    这句话的意思就是"我请客"。如果Waiter送一些免费的小菜,他会说:It's on the house. 店老板请客,意思就是"免费赠送"。
    还记得在电影Duplex中,Alex 问Starbucks里的女店员能不能让他在店里写完那本书,女店员就说到:Be my guest. 意思就是"别客气"。Be my guest. 也可以用来表示"我请客"。
2. It's my treat.
    见了treat,别以为它只有"对待"的意思,它还可以表示"款待、招待",比如你和别人打赌,输了之后,You had to treat her to an ice cream. 你不得不请她吃冰淇淋。不过款待人,也不一定总是要"吃吃喝喝",也可以来点高雅的,比如说I'll treat you all to a little piano specialty 1 of my own. 我要请大家听一首我特地自谱的钢琴曲,这种招待客人的方式还真是够水平的。当然treat还有"名词"的身份,表示"请客、做东",所以如果你想表示"我做东,我请客",就拍拍胸脯说:It's my treat. 或是I want to treat you.
3. Let me foot the bill.
    这里的foot真是和"英尺"、"脚"没有任何关系了,在老外的口头语中,foot可以做动词,表示"支付帐单或费用",就相当于Let me pay the bill.

n.(speciality)特性,特质;专业,专长
  • Shell carvings are a specialty of the town.贝雕是该城的特产。
  • His specialty is English literature.他的专业是英国文学。
